Why Ceiling Fan?

Before you invest in a new central air conditioning system, you might want to take a minute and count how many ceiling fans you have in your home.
Adding a few ceiling fans could be a wise investment to make before laying out the money to install AC in your home!

With the rising cost of home energy fuels these days, ceiling fans in the rooms you spend most of the time at home can save you money. Improved air circulation will cut home cooling costs regardless whether or not you have air conditioning.

Healthier Air For Whole Family
Unlike other fan which creat a 'direct-blow effect' which can be quite irritating or messy sometime. 'Air circulation' is a primary benefit of a ceiling fan. Ceiling fan is a device for creating a current of air or cause a breeze (air-circulation). It is used to equalize the temperature at ceiling and floor levels. It can blow or draw air in order to make a draft, which creates a chill factor on human skin. When installed over a kitchen dining table, the moving air helps to dissuade flying pests from entering the area. It can air out or freshen a room. Its healthier and comfortable. No wonder most hospitals, schools and institutions are installing ceiling fan in Singapore.

Save Electricity Bills
Unlike air conditioners, ceiling fans can bring numerous energy saving benefits to the home. Save energy and money by using ceiling fans and turning off the air conditioning or by turning up the A/C's temperature a few degrees and letting the fan do the rest. Used in conjunction with air conditioning in hot weather, ceiling fans keep your family comfortable and your utility bills low.

Most ceiling fans use only about as much power as a 100 watt light bulb. When used properly, ceiling fans can save you money in utility bills during the long hot weather months in Singapore. Effective circulation can make you feel up to 8 degrees cooler, and reduce air conditioning bills by up to 40%.

Space Saving Yet Decorative
Unlike floor standing or table fan that take-up your precious floor space. Ceiling Fans enhance the character of any room or home. With the variety of styles and models available, finding one to fit your decor is easy. Ceiling fans add that extra "finished" decorative touch that helps make a beautiful statement in any room..

Live Without Ceiling Light
Ceiling fans are a terrific way to add more ventilation to a room, whether you need to cool it down, or heat it up. And, while still providing lighting, they can greatly enhance the room's decor. You can go without a ceiling light now with a ceiling fan that come with light features.

Maintaining Your Ceiling Fan?
There are two types of maintenance you need to do to keep your ceiling fan running smoothly:

Lightly Clean a Ceiling Fan Weekly:

For weekly dusting of the fan blades, you will need a ceiling fan cleaning brush. It has a long pole with a light feather-like duster attached to the end of it, so you can dust the blades without having to climb up a ladder each week. An'Adhesive/Sticky Duster' which available in the market is also an ideal duster to do the job..

With safety in mind, turn off the ceiling fan first. While standing under the fan, lift the pole up toward the fan blades, making sure that the dusting brush is lying evenly against the blade, and with a light sweeping motion, run the duster along each of the blades.

Thoroughly Clean a Ceiling Fan:

Now, if you havent cleaned your ceiling fan in a while, you will need to do a more thorough cleaning of the blades, and this should be done about every two months. For this type of cleaning you will need a tall sturdy ladder, a roll of paper towels, and a bottle of all-purpose cleaner.

After turning off the ceiling fan, position a tall step ladder beneath the fan in a place that will allow you easy access to the blades. Carefully climb the ladder and rotate the fan blades until one of the blades is within easy reach.

To avoid getting cleaner inside the motor, spray all-purpose cleaner onto a paper towel. Wipe away dirt and dust from the top of the fan blade with the moistened paper towel, then use a fresh paper towel with cleaner and wipe the blades surface to finish the cleaning process on each blade. Continue this process until each blade is clean.

An anti-static agent can be used, but no cleaning agents which can damage the finish.

An occasional coat of furniture polish may be applied to the wood protection. Polish will also enhance the wood.

Never saturate a cloth with water to clean your ceiling fan. Water introduces the possibility of electrical shock and blade warpage. Always be certain the fan control is in the off position before attempting to clean.

And there you have it! A clean and smooth running ceiling fan!

Ceiling Fan Airflow Illustrations
For Summer Cooling – the fan is turning counter clockwise.
We've all heard weather forecasters talk about the wind chill factor. By producing a breeze or wind chill, a ceiling fan’s downward airflow can make a room with a thermostat setting of 70-80 degrees feel like 72 degrees. The actual thermostat in the room will not change, it does not cool the room, only the occupants in the room will feel the wind chill effect and are more comfortable. This will equate to about 30% savings on air conditioning bills. It will actually allow more days a year when no air conditioning is needed.
Fan rotates counter-clockwise and cools by “Wind Chill”
For Winter Warming – the fan is turning clockwise.
Ceiling fans are generally associated with warm weather usage. However, when a ceiling fan is in reverse motion, the upward flow of air will push the warmer air trapped at the ceiling back down to the floor making the living area of a room feel warmer. The air at the ceiling of a room is 15 degrees warmer than on the floor. Since, in the colder weather, most people set their thermostat to make their feet feel warm, getting warmer air down to the floor level creates comfort at a lower thermostat setting. To avoid wind chill with winter warming the fan should stay on low speed at all times.
Fan rotates clockwise and recirculates warm air without draft
Higher Blade Pitch – Produces more airflow

History Of Ceiling Fan
The first ceiling fans appeared in the 1860s and 1870s, in the United States.. At that time, they were not powered by any form of electric motor. Instead, a stream of running water was used, in conjunction with a turbine, to drive a system of belts which would turn the blades of two-blade fan units. These systems could accommodate several fan units, and so became popular in stores, restaurants, and offices. Some of these systems still survive today, and can be seen in parts of the southern United States where they originally proved useful.

The electrically-powered ceiling fan was invented in 1882 by Philip Diehl (pronounced the same as "deal"). Diehl had engineered the electric motor used in the first Singer sewing machines, and in 1882 adapted that motor for use in a ceiling-mounted fan. "The Diehl Electric Fan", as it was known, operated like a common modern-day ceiling fan; each fan had its own self-contained motor unit, eliminating the need for costly and bulky belt systems.

In the 1960s, some Oriental manufacturers started exporting their ceiling fans to the United States. They caught on slowly at first, but found great success during the energy crisis of the late 1970s, since ceiling fans consume far less energy than air conditioning units.

Due to the ever-reducing cost of amenities such as air conditioning, ceiling fan sales once again started to decline, beginning in the early- to mid-1990s. With the reduction in sales came a reduction in research and development, as well as features. Once-standard features (such as solid wood blades, built-in variable-speed dials, high-quality stator/rotor ("stack") motors, and die-cast steel construction) have been largely replaced by cheap, standardized parts.

Uses Of Ceiling Fan
Most ceiling fans can be used in two different ways; that is, most fans have a mechanism, commonly an electrical switch, for reversing the direction in which the blades rotate.

In summer, when the fan's direction of rotation is set so that air is blown downward (typically counter-clockwise except for the fan with the blade tilting different way, when standing under the fan and looking upwards), the breeze created by a ceiling fan speeds the evaporation of sweat on human skin, which is experienced as a cooling effect.

In winter, buildings in colder climates are usually heated. Air naturally stratifies — that is, warmer air rises to the ceiling while cooler air sinks to the floor. A ceiling fan, with its direction of rotation set so that air is drawn upward (typically clockwise except for the fan with the blade tilting different way), takes cool air from lower levels in the room and pushes it upward towards the ceiling. The warm air, which had naturally risen to the ceiling, is forced out of the way of the incoming cool air; it travels along the ceiling and down the walls, to lower levels where people in the room can feel it; this reverse rotation has the added advantages of not creating the wind-chill effect of the summer operation scheme, and of heating the air slightly by forcing it along the entire surface area of the ceiling which is typically hot due to risen hot air trapped on the other side in the attic.

Even though most ceiling fans can be mounted to all types of ceilings, not all can be mounted to angled or cathedral ceiling without an added bracket or down-rod.

Can A Ceiling Fan Improve Comfort In Almost Every Room In The Home? ...YES!

Bedrooms - There are many nights when the air conditioning can simply be turned off providing greater energy savings with no loss of comfort.

Bathrooms - Eliminates mildew by drying towels and showers quickly. This is a perfect application for a ceiling fan, even though bathrooms are often quite small.

Kitchens - Quickly disperses heat, smoke, and short span blades for these rooms. cooking odors making the kitchen more pleasant for the cook.

Recreation Rooms - Keeps active people comfortable without adjusting the air conditioning and thereby upsetting temperatures else where in the home.

Living Rooms - Maintains even temperatures by dispersing heat from windows. Also disperses cigarette smoke and heat from large gatherings.

Sunrooms and Atriums - Circulates and distributes solar heated air throughout the home and-reduces the risk of overheating sensitive plants.

Dining Room - By using medium speed upward airflow, diners can be kept comfortable in the typically smaller area without cooling the meal.

Rooms with Fireplaces - Circulates and distributes heated air through other parts of the home reducing furnace usage.

Vaulted Ceiling Rooms - Eliminates heat stratification for improved winter comfort and reduced energy bills.
